Case Study: Terradona boosts recycling with Telit IoT rewards technology

Terradona tracks 18 million recycled items with Telit

Terradona, a company focused on ecological and digital transition, faced the challenge of encouraging consumer recycling to help EU member countries meet ambitious 2030 waste goals. They developed the Cliiink® digital rewards program but needed a flexible and affordable cellular IoT solution to connect their recycling container sensors for a global rollout. They partnered with vendor Telit to find a suitable module and connectivity plan.

Telit provided the GL865 QUAD V3 GSM/GPRS module, along with its OPTIMUS data plan service and IoT Portal management platform. This suite of solutions offered significant cost savings and operational flexibility. The results were substantial; in France, Cliiink increased recycling by up to 30% in its first year, diverting over 18 million items from landfills. Twenty-five percent of households signed up in the first year after implementation, demonstrating the solution's effectiveness and the measurable impact achieved with Telit.
